Slick Shoot Interview

While it’s almost impossible to top the nearly perfect, and immortal, Jive Soul Bro music video, RF VIDEO did the next best thing, a one on one interview with former WWE manager Slick! Yes, the former manager of many of the 80s WWE’s best tag teams (including the Twin Towers and Power and Glory), not to mention the 1987 Slammy Award winner for best personal hygiene, stepped into the lavish RF VIDEO headquarters for an incredible two hour shoot that will be impossible to forget, no matter how hard you try! The self proclaimed “Doctor of Style” made a lasting impression on WWE fans with his jheri curl hair and slick (pun intended) dance moves, and we all remember when Slick helped Kamala the Ugandan Giant “become a man!” but now we will hear ALL the stories from one of the craziest eras in wrestling history. Listen to the man who helped the One Man Gang find his African Heritage and was “Classy” Freddie Blassie?s handpicked protégé. Slick went on and brought God into his life (before that was the in-thing to do in wrestling) and WWE made it part of his gimmick, remaking Reverend Slick during the early 90s. Have you ever seen a manager teach his wrestler bowling? Slick taught Kamala the finer points of hitting a 7-10 split back in 1991. Have you ever seen a man fall asleep during a shoot interview? You will here as Slick, dog tired after a full day of doing Lord knows what, actually fell asleep not once, but TWICE, during our shoot. Trust us, this shoot is like nothing you have ever seen before! Don’t be a playa hatah, check out the New Release section for this jive shuckin’ new DVD!
